Yellowcard Band • Page 291

Just read his comments. So odd.

 

It’s a bummer, I’d love for LP to be back but i doubt it will ever happen.

 

I don’t think he left the band on his own

 

Man he sounds so good.

 

Man, I really miss seeing LP play live.

 

The Aussie metal/punkrock dudes did a reaction. Man, I'm so excited for a late summer with new Yellowcard tunes.

 

It seemed extremely contentious when he left. It didn’t sound like he was given a choice. Anyone remember when he left the band and his dad was posting stuff on Facebook about how he was way too good for Yellowcard? I know it’s none of my business but man would I like to hear the story of what happened there, lol.

I miss his drumming in the band. I honestly always felt like he was as integral to their sound as Sean’s violin. That said, I enjoy what they’ve done after he left, but I’d still love to hear what he could do with them today.

 

And the drumming spot remains vacant. Wild. Must’ve really been a mess behind the scenes to have no interest in inviting him back.

 

These extra two weeks without the new songs are gonna be a killer but it’ll definitely be worth the wait. Can’t wait to blast this thing all summer once it fully drops!

 

Alright found a decent priced copy of WYTTSY on vinyl. Now just need lights and sounds.

@williamryankey will there be lights and sounds vinyl available on the tour?

 

Sorry if I missed this, do we know who drummed for the new EP? Was it Nate Young again?

Yes, it was Nate

 

Just saw he tried to tag them in his post and it didn’t work… wonder if they have him blocked.

 

As much as I would love to see LP back, the band has done a good job of keeping the reason of his departure private for the past decade. I don’t see them ever acknowledging this.

They had a perfect opportunity to bring back LP and they didn’t, so they obviously aren’t friendly with him any longer.

 

yeah i know it’s available online. Was hoping to save on shipping costs lol.

 

It probably will cost more at a show though.

 

Hopefully not! But if so then ill order online.

Every song on the new Yellowcard EP (due out at the end of July) makes me emotional. I never thought I’d hear new music from this band again. It makes me think back to the first time someone told me to check out Yellowcard. They sent me One for the Kids and I burned it to a CD and took it out for a drive around my hometown. Windows down, music loud, the perfect introduction to a band that would stay with me for the next two decades. I’d play the Underdog EP on my way to my first summer job (Borders bookstore). The soundtrack to Summers and first loves. And basically, everyone knows my history and love for Ocean Avenue. Hanging out in Portland with the band, dropping them off at a local bar (I wasn’t 21 yet), racing home to see them debut on Pepsi Smash, and knowing right then and there they were about to explode. Seeing their rise, seeing them release album after album that just hit me perfectly right when I needed it, and having so many moments of my life soundtracked with their music has made them one of the defining artists of my lifetime. They’re an extremely special band to me. Their music has helped me in times when I needed someone to say what I couldn’t or to pick me up when I was down — a comforting constant. And they knocked this EP right out of the park. “Three Minutes More” gives me massive Paper Walls energy, “Hiding in the Light” has one of those “oh god damn” choruses, and “The Places We’ll Go” is like having a drink with an old friend and falling back into all your old routines. I found myself listening, smiling, and by the end, thinking, “Yep, that’s why you guys are the best.” Other bands play this style of music. I write about most of them. But out of all the bands playing in this space, Yellowcard brings something out of me that’s almost indescribable. They make me happy. They lift my spirit. They are the antidote to any bad day I may have—an electric bolt to my nervous system. The EP’s incredible. Five for five. A guaranteed summer staple. I’m sitting here listening to it now, and Ryan’s belting out the chorus to “Honest from the Jump,” re-using a refrain from his solo album, and I have goddamn chills. According to Last.fm, this is play number twelve of the album. Twelfth time hearing this song, and the hair on my arm is standing on end. Yeah, let’s go.

First impressions.

 

Interview: Ryan Key of Yellowcard

Some cool stuff in there.

 

Really impressive that they went from selling 1,000 tickets to 10,000 in Jacksonville.

 

Not sure if I've ever seen a musician be so open about how Live Nation offers work, I found that aspect pretty interesting

 

I guess I’m officially seeing yellowcard again next month in nyc thanks to equal vision records street team I wasn’t planning on going since tickets over 100 on stubhub and over 200 on Ticketmaster for resale.
all I have to do is pass out stickers before the show and have people follow the band on Spotify or Apple Music / add their new EP to their library.
So if you going come find me if you would like a free sticker from me
PS I will be wearing this shirt to the show to make it a bit easier to find me

 

got the stickers I’m passing out the show

 

more new music?
